This is the beginning of the sled dog exhibit on
Svalbard and on the North Pole. Everything starts out in these dog
kennels on Spitsbergen, Svalbard, Norway. This is a picture of
the sled dog kennel on the island of Spitsbergen. As you can see, this
is a frozen world with only about four months of summer. Summer which
means that there is very little snow on the ground during these months.
For all of the rest of the months, this dog kennel is frozen like an
ice cube. When in the kennel these dogs are living together but are
separated so they can't really have contact with each other.
